An attempt by a legislature to amplicate its legislative power by delegating to another the power to enact a law, whether in form or effect, or to bestow upon another the power to determine the effectiveness of a specific act. 16 Am J2d Const L § 240. There is, of course, a sense of the term "delegation of legislative power," as to which there is no impropriety, that is, the delegation of power made to a legislature by a constitution. 16 Am J2d Const L § 211. It is also well settled that it is within the power of the legislature to delegate to a municipal corporation for municipal purposes, to be exercised within the municipal limits, the three most essential powers of the state, namely, the police power, the power of taxation, and the power of eminent domain. 37 Am J1st Mun Corp § 111.
